Art time is here! Follow these easy steps to use our shared supplies.

Step 1: Walk to the Supply Table Walk with quiet feet to the front table. Wait for your turn in line.

Step 2: Get Your Paper Take one sheet of white paper from the tall stack. Hold it with two hands so it does not bend.

Step 3: Choose Your Crayons Pick up one blue tray of crayons. Carry the tray with both hands back to your seat.

Step 4: Make Your Art Set the tray in the middle of your desk. Draw your picture with bright colors.

Share the colors if a friend asks politely. Keep the crayons on the tray when you are not using them.

Step 5: Clean Up Your Space Listen for the clean-up bell. Put every crayon back inside the blue tray.

Check the floor around your chair. Pick up any crayons that fell down.

Step 6: Return the Supplies Carry your tray back to the front table. Set it down gently next to the other trays.

Put your finished drawing in the turn-in bin. Now your desk is clean and ready for the next lesson!
